Best tour and tour guide - This is a perfect tour! Bacalar is beautiful and a gem away from business of the ports! We had the best guide, Adan! He was so knowledgeable about the area and told us so many things we wouldn’t have discovered on a larger tour! He stopped at a stand and got a fresh pineapple to enjoy later on the boat!! It was delicious!! We had a tour of the cenotes in that area, got to swim in the perfect fresh water lagoon, see hundreds of storks nesting on an island! He later took us to eat great street tacos at a restaurant and we also got to stop at a local salsa shop. Adan had noticed we liked spice! That was so much fun and packaged some could bring pack home! We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! This tour is great and Adan made it even better!

Best Tour Experience - We booked with Chac-ek Costa Maya Bacalar because we wanted to see the 7 colors and the cenotyas and pay less than the Norwegian Joy was charging. Turns out my husband accidentally booked us for the same date in the following month! Instead of turning us away, the owner, Moses (Baudilio), booked one of his own guys to take us on a private tour in his own car at no extra charge. Adan was our tour guide. He was polite, kind, informative and very gracious! We ended up with a private boat ride as well. It was wonderful. We saw everything we wanted and got to see it all with just our family. What a delight! I would definitely recommend Chac-Ek tours to anyone considering it!! Can’t thank Adan enough!

Overall excursion experience was amazing. Highly recommend this company for your excursion needs - The experience was amazing! Out guide Carol was extremely knowledgeable with excellent customer service ensuring everyone was comfortable & having a good time! Our only complaint was our time in the matter was too short. We were traveling with a family who had to head back earlier. This was not within the staff’s control…just wish we knew ahead of time. We loved the lagoons and were having too much fun! Wish it lasted longer than 90 min or so.

Baccalar Lagoon - The tour guide Carol was excellent along with the bus and boat driver. The 1 1/2 hour drive both ways was too long for a 2 hour boat ride.
